A Critical Review on the Potential of Inactivated Bacteria in Counteracting Human Pathogens.

Bacterial infections are a major global public health challenge, especially with increasing antibiotic resistance. Postbiotics, bioactive compounds produced by probiotics, have been proposed as a novel strategy to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and address antibiotic resistance. Similar to probiotics and certain food ingredients, postbiotics can also modulate beneficial microbial communities and ultimately contribute to host health.

The Detection of Fosfomycin-Modifying Enzymes (fos) in Uropathogenic Enterobacterale, Azerbaijan, Iran.

is the most common agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Multidrug resistant (MDR) and XDR (extensively drug-resistant) Enterobacteriaceae in UTIs have increased in the world. The present study aimed to study the fosfomycin resistance frequency and the fosfomycin resistance genes among Enterobacteriaceae isolated from UTIs.
